The late televised game in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday comes in Lancashire as Blackburn take on Aston Villa.

Villa may have been beaten play-off finalists last season, but their form at the start of the this campaign has left a lot to be desired.

Blackburn are a best-price of 9/5 to win, and someone like Charlie Mulgrew can guide them to a crucial three points. He may play as a centre-back, but Rovers' goalscoring defender has played a key part in their attacking side of the game since joining the club.

The 32-year-old has three goals to his name already this season, and the fact that he is on set-piece duty for the hosts will give him plenty more opportunities to strike.

His start to the season is no fluke either. Mulgrew scored 14 goals and assisted a further five as Blackburn were promoted from Sky Bet League One at the end of the 2017/18 campaign.

Set-pieces have been Villa's undoing in recent weeks. Two of the four they conceded against Sheffield United were a result of free-kicks while Reading's late equaliser came from the penalty spot.

They need to buck that trend, but Blackburn could exploit that which creates goalscoring opportunities for Mulgrew.

I do like the look of a home win here. Rovers are unbeaten in front of their own fans and did secure a victory over the impressive Brentford last time in the league at Ewood.

Villa meanwhile, were hammered by the Blades at Bramall Lane, and were held by struggling Ipswich before that. They're without victory in five in all competitions, whereas Blackburn have lost just one in the same time.
